According to a top member of the foundation, Pastor Tuoyo Temisan, “Over the past decade, FALF has been a leader in youth development, equipping individuals with essential skills and resources to drive change.
“Since inception, the Future Africa Leaders Foundation has recognised 123 recipients of the prestigious Future Africa Leaders Award for demonstrating outstanding leadership in solving problems in and for the continent, with grants totalling USD 1,340,000 to all winners from 30 African countries, spanning five regions.
